The Many Foes of Batman
If you missed the day where we diagnose the Batman's villains, you will need to use Arkham’s Diagnostic Manual to diagnose at minimum five of the eleven fiendish foes. Include their name, diagnosis, and your reasoning (include both behaviors of the villain and the descriptions from the diagnostic manual). This assignment is worth 25 points.
